how to map network drive with Cisco systems VPN Client, Vista

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking sharing

I'd like to ask for help with Vista 32, mapping a vpn network drive. I can
successfully connect to work with Cisco Systems VPN client, but do not see
any work network drives. (I can see these using a computer with XP, same
client) I have tried entering the work network drive info, (i.e.,
\\mot1fp02\Share$) using Map Network Drive, but get the diagnostic reply
"Windows sent the request to the DNS server and the server responded that the
name was unknown." I suspect, but don't really know, that the message is
referring to my IP DNS server, instead of my work DNS server?? Can you help?

It is better to setup WINS server for VPN name resolution. This search
result may help.
